CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: DAMIEN LANCASTER: WHERE’S THE EVIDENCE?

Ivy Summers returned to the cabin to look for her phone. She searched the entire area, but she didn’t see her phone.

It might have flown out just now during her scuffle with Rachel Shaw.

A chill rose in Ivy Summers’ heart.

Rachel Shaw was being examined by the doctor, and she looked at Ivy Summers, holding her breath.

She was extremely tense, even though her head was splitting, she didn’t dare to faint.

Not until she saw Ivy Summers producing nothing did she continue, "Damien, I don’t know why Ivy hates me so much. She wants me dead..."

Rachel Shaw leaned against Damien Lancaster, tears of pain flowing, her pale face full of fear of Ivy Summers.

She looked pitiful like this.

"Just because of Sophie, Ivy, how many times do you want me to explain before you’re willing to believe I really didn’t harm Sophie? What do I have to do for you to let me go? This morning you wanted to kill me, and at my house again tonight, now... Damien, I’m really scared..."

Originally, Damien Lancaster didn’t believe it.

But he suddenly thought back to the scene from this morning and at the Shaw Family’s house, where Ivy Summers dared to make a move on Rachel Shaw in front of him.

What might she be doing behind his back?

Damien Lancaster’s face turned grim, "You won’t be satisfied until you’ve killed her, is that it?"

He didn’t give her a chance to explain. This sentence had already pronounced her guilty.

Ivy Summers suddenly felt deeply saddened; she accepted what she had done.

But she would never admit to things she hadn’t done.

"Let me say it again, I didn’t push her. Killing is punishable by law; I still want to live. It was all her plan; she calculated that you would bring me along when you heard she was missing. When I arrived here, she pulled me onto the Ferris wheel, and she wanted to push me off to kill me."

Ivy Summers explained very clearly.

Rachel Shaw sobbed quietly in Damien Lancaster’s arms, sad beyond compare: "Ivy, you misunderstood me; even if you wanted to harm me, I accepted it, but why do you still want to slander me?"

Rachel Shaw choked on her words, as if unable to continue due to distress, closed her eyes, tears streaming down her beautiful face.

Watching her, Ivy Summers thought to herself that she could never learn such a series of acts from Rachel Shaw.

She wanted to say something, but heard Damien Lancaster ask, "You say she wanted to push you down to kill you, then why weren’t you the one who fell?"

This question landed a heavy blow on Ivy Summers’ already shattered heart.

Damien Lancaster had completely believed Rachel Shaw’s words, which was why he questioned her like this.

"That’s because I struggled desperately, and she got what she deserved, falling out of the cabin. And if I hadn’t saved her, she’d be dead now."

"You saved her? All I saw was that you let go of her hand in mid-air."

He wasn’t clear on what happened inside the cabin.

But he did truly witness Ivy Summers letting go of Rachel Shaw’s hand in the air.

Ivy Summers was at a loss for words. At this moment, any explanation to him was futile because he didn’t believe what she said at all.

No matter what she said, it would just be seen as a defense in his eyes.

Ivy Summers bit her lip and nodded, thinking there was no need to say anything more. Let him think what he wants; she didn’t want to explain any longer.

Talking to him always left her feeling disappointed, aggrieved, and miserable.

Ivy Summers turned to leave.

Damien Lancaster stood up and quickly caught up with Ivy Summers, grabbing her. But because Mr. Shaw and Mrs. Shaw arrived and the doctor was eager to get Rachel Shaw to the hospital,

Damien Lancaster let her go for the time being.

From the look in Damien Lancaster’s eyes, he wasn’t planning to let this go easily.

Back at the hotel, Ivy Summers immediately walked into the room and briskly grabbed the two kids.

The two little ones were worried about Ivy Summers, but seeing her return looking strange and in a hurry, it felt like they were about to escape a disaster.

"Mommy, what are you doing?" Nathan frowned, looking worriedly at Ivy Summers.

"Nathan and Leo, Mommy’s booked a new room for you both. You’ll sleep there."

"Why? Can’t we sleep here?"

They could, but seeing how Damien Lancaster acted just now, he might still come looking for her.

She had to be prepared.

"Listen to Mommy. Mommy will have something to deal with later. You both just sleep well in the room."

Ivy Summers led Nathan and Leo to another room.

Nathan and Leo didn’t know why Ivy was doing this, but they were clever enough to notice her strange expression. Something must have happened while they were out.

Once the door was closed, Ivy Summers returned to the original room.

Soon enough, Damien Lancaster indeed came.

Standing at the door, he coldly said to Ivy Summers, "Open the door."

From these two words alone, Ivy Summers sensed his anger.

She took a deep breath at the door, opened it, and Damien Lancaster’s face was terrifyingly grim.

"Damien Lancaster, what will it take for you to trust me? I didn’t push her. It was just the two of us in that cabin. If she had really died, could I have escaped? Do you think I would be so stupid to harm her and ruin myself?"

"Did you speak the truth?" Damien Lancaster asked coldly, "You pushed her out of the cabin, and she didn’t fall immediately. You were afraid she’d really die, that you couldn’t escape the law, so you saved her. But you didn’t want her to have it easy, so when she was seven or eight meters from the ground, you deliberately let go of her hand, causing her to get hurt."

Ivy Summers was stunned, "Why can you twist every explanation I give into something so malicious?"

"Because you, Ivy Summers, what you do is simply malicious. Since you came back, how many times have you bullied her? Can you even count it?"

"Malicious?!" Ivy Summers thought she’d never again feel hurt by Damien Lancaster’s words, but hearing these three words, she still felt suffocated.

"What about Rachel Shaw? How does she appear to you? Gentle? Harmless? Kind? Frail?"

Damien Lancaster looked at her with deep-set eyes, not speaking for a long time, yet those dark, deep eyes seemed to speak volumes.

Reaching out, Damien Lancaster grabbed her wrist, "Come with me."

"Where? To apologize to your gentle, harmless, kind, frail sweetheart?"

"Don’t you think you need to apologize? Ivy Summers, Rachel and the Shaws have been more than generous with you."

"Generous?" Ivy Summers’ eyes reddened, "Damien Lancaster, do you even know what they’ve done behind your back? This morning, Rachel Shaw held a knife to Sophie, demanding I kneel and apologize to her. This evening, the Shaws came to my house to start a fire and smash things. Without their provocation, how could I have fought back? Why should I apologize to them?"

Damien Lancaster’s eyes turned cold, evidently unaware of these things. Now hearing it from Ivy Summers, there was doubt in his eyes.

"There are many things that if you investigate, you’ll find what I’m saying is the truth. Why won’t you investigate?"

Ivy Summers shook off his hand, shouting at him:

"We haven’t divorced yet; for your wife, why can’t you at least trust me a little? Why do you always side with others?

You asked me why I wanted to divorce so much before. Damien Lancaster, look at me now; that’s the answer. Because I’m in so much pain being with you, I have to endure so much malice, so much injustice. Do you know how hard it is for me?"
